Season 2, Ep 4: #Covid19--How consumers are coping
This current pandemic is unlike anything anyone has ever experienced. While watching the news makes it feel very doom and gloom, many people are taking a different perspective. People may be skipping their daily shower or even brushing their teeth, but they're also looking at this period for self improvement. Tune in to hear how a 22 year old and 49 year old male are taking advantage of this time.
Season 2 Ep 3: Getting older isn't so bad. Real people speak out
In Season 2, I continue to explore how America looks at 'getting older'. While I believe society is moving away from ageism, thanks to AARP's #disruptaging--we still have a long way to go. Tune in as I speak with women in their 40s, 50s and 60s. If you like what you hear, please rate, review and SHARE.
S2Ep2: Is social media killing our creativity? An expert weighs in
We're back with more dialogue around 'digital detoxing' and how more people are taking breaks as a form of self-care. I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but I think it's an interesting topic to explore from all angles. This week we talk to James Cooper who has spent most of his career working with technology and thinking about the future of tech.
